Re: New and Tight is not quite as Tight now...

One of the things I am trying to learn to do is to use my white space when I'm posting to good effect.

I've noticed that its more visually appealing and my thoughts stand out better if I watch how the words and the sentences and the space all work together. I was getting so I could predict the end result.

But now its all different. So wide and spread across the page. I'm not sure what I think of it yet.

Re: New and Tight is not quite as Tight now...

Uhh... thanks, but no.

I like to have JUB open as a window so that I can see the other things happening on my desktop. With the previous setting JUB sat perfectly in it's window and the only scroll bar I had to use was the "up/down."

I just tried both New and Phat and New and Tight... there was very little difference that I could tell.

Re: New and Tight is not quite as Tight now...

For me, it's a bit harder to read the posts. With the longer lines, it's easier to lose my place as the eye snaps from the right edge of the page back to the left at the end of the line (which is why newspaper articles use such a short line length and split things into columns, makes it easier to quickly skim an article).

Re: New and Tight is not quite as Tight now...

This is irritating. I have to scroll back and forth. I could change my resolution so all fits on the screen but then the words would be so small I wouldn't be able to read them. The old way was much easier to deal with.

Re: New and Tight is not quite as Tight now...

At first, I thought I liked it but when I started reading longer posts that stretched all the way across from one side of the screen to the other, I realized it was difficult for my 49-year-old eyes to keep up with which line of text I was reading when I was scanning back from one side of the screen to the other. I vote that we go back to the way things were...

Fitts' law is a robust model of human psychomotor behavior developed in 1954. The model is based on time and distance. It enables the prediction of human movement and human motion based on rapid, aimed movement, not drawing or writing.

It seems intuitive that movement time would be affected by the distance moved and the precision demanded by the size of the target to which one is moving. Fitts discovered that movement time was a logarithmic function of distance when target size was held constant, and that movement time was also a logarithmic function of target size when distance was held constant. Mathematically, Fitts' law is stated as follows:

Re: New and Tight is not quite as Tight now...

Virtually the same as new and phat now....but I almost always keep it in classic....love the way it looks on the screen better,sometimes what works just needs a fresh look and tweaking,which is how classic looks now.
